Some people who study lobsters say lobsters are as intelligent as octopuses, which I find hard to believe.

I love lobster *in* things but am not wild about whole lobster or even lobster tail, because it looks like a giant mutant cockroach, lol. Some insects have a certain wiliness but intelligence is not a trait I'd associate with them. A praying mantis is the only one that really even seems all that aware.

Lobsters do look nasty, that's for sure.

Animal intelligence is tough to get a handle on. I like reading about animal communication -- stuff like Alex the African gray parrot, and deciphering the language of orcas. (Maybe language is too strong a word, but it may really fit.)
